Dedication

This book is dedicated to my mum – the main reason I’m even able to get my story into the world. My mum has always been my number one supporter and I couldn’t be more grateful.

I’m so lucky to be blessed with someone like her, who loves and cherishes me, picks me up when I fall down and is always there for me. I can never fully repay my mum for all that she’s done for me – right back to carrying me for nine months. I aspire to keep making you proud Mum, so this book is filled with all my love and dedicated to you.

My dad, for always inspiring me to do my best and being a role model in my life and in my written work.

My brother, who is always so energetic and excited about the things I achieve and for his constantly positive attitude.
